I’m very blessed to have two Lloyd Dobson paintings. They are based on photographs I had taken. Lloyd’s artistic talent has added such a realism to them that I can feel the warmth of sunset on the beach.

I just received my beautiful Lloyd Dobson original oil painting of the Sunset Pier in Key West. Gorgeous! Vivid colors, excellent technique and a lovely reminder of our recent trip to Key West. Thank you, Lloyd!

Peggy thank you so very much for your kudos and so very happy you like the painting. Sunset Pier Tiki Bar is one of my favorite spots in Key West. I have painted and still paint many scenes of Sunset Pier Tiki Bar. May your day be filled with joy and positivity, just like the beauty of a beach. Let this attitude shine through in all that you do!

Lloyd is a very talented and kind artist. I wanted a painting of Siesta Key done by a local artist and ran across an image of one of his originals that was no longer available online. He created a similar painting for me and modified it according to my preferences. Even though it was a custom commissioned piece, he told me I didn’t have to buy it unless I was 100% satisfied. The painting is beautiful and is proudly hung in our entry space for all of our guests to see! Thank you, Lloyd, for being so kind and easy to work with.

We have bought several of Lloyd's Siesta Key beach paintings for our house. We were thrilled to find out that he was willing to do a custom painting of our house quickly and at a very reasonable price.

After visiting Lloyds art stand this past summer I knew I wanted to become a collector! Once back home I reached out to Lloyd for a custom request for him to paint one of his prints, not only did he get it done within the week but expressed such kindness and patience. 100% would recommend Lloyd's unique and beautiful pieces to anyone!!

Just happened upon the wonderful artist during a Google search for surf shack art. Lloyd was such a sweet person and did an amazing job making me a siesta key surf shack painting. I love it so much and it fits perfectly in beach house. Lloyd kept in touch throughout the different stages of the paining even sending pictures via text. He went above and beyond in keeping me involved. So fun. Thanks for such a great experience.

I purchased a series of 5x7 paintings of the Siesta key lifeguard stands about three years ago to hang in my master bathroom. This year we decided to redecorate that bathroom. I reached out to Lloyd to ask about having him paint an 11x16 that would encompass all the lifeguard stands to tie everything together. Today that paining arrived and I couldn’t be happier! It’s beautiful!

Mr. Dobson did a beautiful job on my four Siesta Key lifeguard stands!! When I asked, he added Scooter of the Beach to the green lifeguard stand and we absolutely love it! What a lovely addition to our brand new home in Sarasota.

We had the pleasure of meeting Lloyd on our engagement week this summer in Florida and from the moment we spoke you could tell he is a gentle soul and truly one of the kindest people we ever met. We also were able to see and experience what a truly wonderful and talented artist he is. He created a very special painting for both of us that we will cherish for a lifetime. The best part we found a friend for years to come and will be celebrating our wedding with us and he also taught us the 3 A’s which we have applied to our lives since. You’re the best Lloyd ! Sincerely Your Friends, Tony and Melissa

I had a lovely lunch with Lloyd and didn’t understand how he knew almost everyone in siesta-until I went to the Market for the first time and saw his many beautiful paintings. I suspect many of those friends have his paintings in their homes and then became friends with this delightful artist. And now I have two wonderful paintings in my home. For me they catch the essence of Siesta. The many colors of the sunset and the beautiful white sand of the beach. Thank you Lloyd 😊 Judy

We met Lloyd at the Siesta Key farmers market and fell in love with his paintings. We finally decided on one and it looks wonderful on our wall. What a true professional so honored to finally have one of his paintings. I definitely want more. Thank you so much.

We met Lloyd early on a sunday morning in Siesta village. We had previously look at his paintings on his web site and we were looking for a precise scene as Siesta beach represents a very special place in our hearth. We found exactly what we were looking for and we were impressed by Lloyd’s kindness , talent , and generosity. Thank you Lloyd and hopefully , we will meet again in a not so far future.
